Failure To Meet An Order Of The Court

If you have appeared before a judge and have agreed to a payment plan, community service or other judicial orders, you must complete these orders as specified or a warrant may be issued for your arrest.

Resolving Your Violation

Your warrant may be canceled by pleading "no contest" or "guilty" to the violation(s) and making payment for the fine(s).

If you want to plead not guilty to a violation after a warrant of arrest has been issued, you may post a cash bond or surety bond (attorney bond or bail bond). Bail bonds can only be accepted by a police officer at the League City Police Department. Any bond can be taken at the Police Department outside of regular court business hours.

Cash Bond

This money must be paid in the form of cash, cashiers check, or money order (credit cards are not accepted as payments for cash bonds). You will receive receipt of your cash bond which will indicate a court date.

Surety Bond

A local bondsman or a lawyer usually provides this bond. The surety may give a bond for your release. Once the bond is received you will receive a court date from either the court clerk or jail personnel.
